Which of these statements is most likely correct about the stars?


Star 2 attracts Star 1 with a greater gravitational force than Star 1 attracts Star 2.

No, because Third Newton Law states that both forces are equal in magnitude.

Earth exerts almost equal gravitation force on both the stars.

No, because the Universal Gravitational Law, estblished by Newton, states the atraction force to two masses is proportional to the product of the masses.

Star 1 attracts Star 2 with a greater gravitational force than Star 2 attracts Star 1.

No (same reason for the first statement)

Earth exerts greater gravitation force on Star 2 than on Star 1.

Right. This is the correct statement. Given the mass of Star 2 is greater than the mass of Star 1, by the Universal Gravitational Law, the earth exerts greater gravitational attraction on Star 2.

Describe what water regulation adaptations might have evolved in protists in hypertonic habitats such as great salt lake or in h
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The hypertonic habitats is home to saline protists which depend on salts for their survival.

Explanation:

  • Protists are a multicellular organism like the algae, don't from natural groups have invertebrates. They freely occupy the environment that contains liquid water.
  • As these microorganisms cant breath in freshwaters the need the salts to sustain themselves and responsible for the production of 30% of oxygen in the water sphere.
  • Diatoms and other oozes are some of the most beautiful protists found to date, they are also home to corals and stick to the body of seafloors. As for long, they have adapted to the same type of conditions.

How does the tilt of Earth's axis affect how the sun's rays strike eachother?
victus00 [196]
The tilt of the Earths axis can affect where the Suns rays hit the Earth. If the northern hemisphere tilts slightly more than the southern hemisphere, the northern hemisphere is facing the sun more often, this is known as "Summer" for people in the north, and "Winter" for people in the south. Im not sure if that answered your question, but the suns rays bounce off the Earths surface and clouds and sometimes hit each other in our atmosphere.

Influence of the Global Air Masses
julia-pushkina [17]

When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.

Which example BEST shows the global impact of the Internet? An American writer uses the Internet to conduct research for a repor
Fudgin [204]
I believe the answer is:
- A Chilean reporter shares live footage of an earthquake on the Web.

This is a perfect example of the power of the internet, where we have a country that is very far away and something happens in there and by using the internet you can visually see what is happening there in the exact same moment even though you may be on the total opposite side of the world.

When a dolphin jumps, it moves its muscles and chemical potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Some of this energy is
marshall27 [118]
The correct option is this: THE ENERGY IS TRANSFERRED TO WAVES IN THE SURROUNDING WATER.
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy can neither be created nor destroy. This law is valid in all systems including biological systems. When a dolphin jumps, some of the potential energy that are converted to kinetic energy is lost to the fish, but this lost energy is gained by the waves in the surrounding water. So, in the real sense, the energy is not lost but converted to another form.
